In recent years, the testing of plastic materials has become more and more complicated.
Instruments and equipment used to analyze and evaluate polymers, elastic bodies, composites and films are more accurate than before and can provide more consistent and repeatable results.
In many cases, digitization reduces the price of test equipment, making it affordable for many processors
House inspection and advanced quality control.
Plastic testing is used to develop new materials, evaluate processing, specify materials for product application, determine the ability of the product to meet the final requirements
Use requirements in a variety of environments, validate design concepts, ensure product quality and safety, and protect manufacturers from product damage
Claim for liability.
Several organizations, including the American Association for Testing and Materials, have developed standards and protocols for testing polymer materials (ASTM)
International Organization for (ISO)
Association of laboratory and Automotive Engineers of underwriters.
In order to ensure consistency, repeatability and reliability of the results, the test methods need to be standardized.
According to ASTM, the first public plastic test standard was written by the ASTM Committee in 1937.
The early test criteria were simple in form and composition, and the test methods focused on traditional properties such as stretching, bending, impact and flammable.
With the development of polymer, elastomer, composite and film, the test methods and equipment used to analyze and evaluate them are also evolving.
